Nice. I'm adding that to the OP with magic_turk's pics

As I was saying in the other thread

From the sound of it D12 can not WAIT to jump ship.....

Yup. **** him, he's mad he wasn't traded. He doesn't care what this franchise gets in return and the future of the franchise or city. He clearly wants to get out of here, I say we let him walk so he can lose money and a season. Reading that article has me pissed off.

I really can't believe Otis was about to take that deal. Wow. I'm a mixture of depressed/angry/frustrated. I hate it.

[magic_turk]

Awesome switch bro, looks good Like someone else said here before, everyone looks good in a Magic uni

[Tayswagzzz]

how valid is that article? wouldn't there be multiple postings if it was credible?

[rcklsscognition]

Anyone on PS3 with 2k12?

Are we sure he requested to be traded again this week? Cause he told them last Wednesday he wanted to be traded. Not sure if they've just used the same days.

[ADRajX]

Annnnnnnnnnd we're off!

Richard Hamilton has cleared waivers. He'll likely sign with the Chicago Bulls in the next 24 hours: tinyurl.com/cjzoa9k

Not only would it be a just awful trade but it would make us a just below 500 team so we wouldnt even get a good draft pick from anythin

From the end of the other thread... Yahoo had a typo in their recent article about Dwight.

More from Yahoo! article: With the framework of a deal in place, talks had reached the ownership level in Orlando, league sources said. Nevertheless, Magic ownership did not approve of the trade, and general manager Otis Smith then informed teams Howard had been removed from the market.

Howard has warned the Magic if they don’t move him by the March 15 trade deadline, they’ll lose him for nothing in free agency. Howard told the Magic again on Wednesday that he wanted a trade, a league source said.

“Dwight’s not a happy camper,” one league source told Y! Sports

This is pretty bad. If true, Dwight really has made up his mind. Also, looks like Otis was ready to do another bad deal and "ownership" stopped it.

I just checked the article... they changed the day from Wednesday to Tuesday.... http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=A ... ets_121411

it turns into dwight for lopez straight up along with a very old core. the biggest reason dwight has me pissed is because he evidently doesn't give a sh** who we get back.

[SnuggLes__]

Yep..

this thread is gonna be quiet, or all hell is gonna break loose...

All Hell is gonna break loose... I hope Otis losses his job.. I mean nothing personal but someone has got to be better at this job than he is.. I mean really.....
